DESCRIPTION
Even if your grandparents had been science fiction writers, it would have been hard for them to predict how the evolution of technology played out to affect your life. You may have heard something like “Back when I was a kid, we didn’t have television”, from a sagely octogenarian when you were young. Now think about what we might be telling our great-grandchildren along the same vein.
